I’m not sure what is funnier, that a ziploc bag of powered cocaine was found in the working quarters (West Wing) of the Office of the United States President, or that the Secret Service claim they can’t figure out who it belongs to… lol Gee, I wonder.
Obviously, a review of the CCTV video is out of the question, or something.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A white powder found inside the White House late on Sunday was identified by Washington’s fire department and emergency services as cocaine, a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
The source said the powder was found in the West Wing, but gave no further details.
The West Wing is attached to the executive mansion where President Joe Biden lives. It houses the Oval Office, the cabinet room and press area, and offices and workspace for the president’s staff.
Hundreds of people work in or come through the West Wing regularly. The Secret Service said on Tuesday that an “unknown item” had been found in workspace within the West Wing on Sunday, leading to the temporary closing of the White House complex.
“On Sunday evening, the White House complex went into a precautionary closure as officers from the Secret Service Uniformed Division investigated an unknown item found inside a work area,” a Secret Service spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
A second source familiar with the matter said the substance was found during a routine Secret Service sweep of the area. It was later identified as cocaine. (read more)
It’s a real mystery where it came from.
I’m sure the FBI will dispatch their top men.
